“…To evaluate the efficiency of the four antagonist bacteria, RS-25, MG-4, Z-14, and Pnf-4, and their culture filtrates and extracts in controlling the gray mold on the postharvest fruit of tomato, strawberry, and grape, the in vivo assay reported by Panebianco et al (2014) and Parafati et al (2015) was used with slight modifications. Tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.…”

“…It was found in the in vitro tests that chitosan at concentrations higher than 0.1% totally inhibited the pathogen growth, while in the in vivo assays chitosan applied at the concentration of 0.5% significantly reduced green mold on "Valencia" and "Washington Navel" oranges, "Femminello" lemons and "Marsh Seedless" grapefruits. The antifungal effects of chitosan were related to direct fungitoxic activity against the pathogen [84]. In another study [77], chitosan at 2% was applied to "Navel" oranges 24 h before inoculation with P. digitatum or P. italicum and it was observed that, after 23 days at 20 °C, disease incidence (proportion of infected fruit) and severity (lesion diameter) were significantly lower on coated samples than on uncoated controls.…”

Antifungal Edible Coatings for Fresh Citrus Fruit: A Review

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

According to their origin, major postharvest losses of citrus fruit are caused by weight loss, fungal diseases, physiological disorders, and quarantine pests. Cold storage and postharvest treatments with conventional chemical fungicides, synthetic waxes, or combinations of them are commonly used to minimize postharvest losses. However, the repeated application of these treatments has led to important problems such as health and environmental issues associated with fungicide residues or waxes containing ammoniacal compounds, or the proliferation of resistant pathogenic fungal strains. There is, therefore, an increasing need to find non-polluting alternatives to be used as part of integrated disease management (IDM) programs for preservation of fresh citrus fruit. Among them, the development of novel natural edible films and coatings with antimicrobial properties is a technological challenge for the industry and a very active research field worldwide. Chitosan and other edible coatings formulated by adding antifungal agents to composite emulsions based on polysaccharides or proteins and lipids are reviewed in this article. The most important antifungal ingredients are selected for their ability to control major citrus postharvest diseases like green and blue molds, caused by Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum, respectively, and include low-toxicity or natural chemicals such as food additives, generally recognized as safe (GRAS) compounds, plant extracts, or essential oils, and biological control agents such as some antagonistic strains of yeasts or bacteria.

“…Resistance inducers have also been used to control postharvest fungal diseases in other crops, and they have shown promising results in banana [24,25], strawberry [26,27], melon [28], and lemon [29]. More recently, biological products, such as Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma sp.…”

Cold Storage and Biocontrol Agents to Extend the Storage Period of ‘BRS Isis’ Seedless Table Grapes

et al. 2018

'BRS Isis' is a novel hybrid seedless table grape with large reddish bunches. This cultivar is cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas and has potential to be exported overseas; however, under these growth conditions, grapes can be severely damaged by gray mold (Botrytis cinerea), the main postharvest disease of table grapes. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate different pre-and postharvest strategies to extend the storage period of 'BRS Isis' seedless table grapes. The treatments consisted of grapes packed into carton boxes under cold storage (1 • C and high relative humidity), pre-and/or postharvest treatment with potassium bicarbonate or a biological control agent (Bacillus subtilis), all with Botrytis inoculation. Additionally, two controls, with and without Botrytis inoculation, were also evaluated. The experimental design was completely randomized with eight treatments and three replications, and each plot consisted of four bunches. After a 50-day cold storage period, the carton boxes were kept for five days at room temperature (22 • C). Gray mold incidence and water loss, as well as soluble solids (SS), pH, titratable acidity (TA), SS/TA ratio, and color attributes were evaluated during both periods. Cold storage effectively reduced gray mold in 'BRS Isis' seedless grape for a period of 50 days, even when grapes were inoculated; however, no difference among treatments was observed. Higher water loss was observed in both non-treated control treatments.
